If you can borrow another machine, cutting a slit in the collet with a fine blade may solve the problem.
DREMEL - anything but !

I burnt out my Dremel surprisingly easily and replaced it with an einhell one, which hasn't burnt out despite burning out the chuck a couple of times.
Parkside do a grinder with a flexi-Dremel style power take off which looks useful.

Die grinder. You may be asking a boy to do a man's job. Pneumatic die grinders have been a shop staple for yearly 100 years, but there are cordless ones now.

I have plenty of tapered collets ... problem is Silverline use a strange outside diameter of collet. I can mix collets with my other 3 machines - but not with the Silverline.
I even have many different tapered collets to hold props on model aircraft motors .... none of those fit either.

I had 2 mains Dremels at £50 each, both failed at the field windings where the fine wire disappears through the inner case. I keep repairing it but bought a £16 cordless Parkside from Lidl, which has been fine. Looks and feels the same quality as a Dremel but more reliable. Charges in about 15 minutes. Definitely worth looking out for.
